Woking won't have the biggest squad in the National League this season by long way, but manager Anthony Limbrick is hoping to use that to his advantage.

The Cards named a squad of just 17, and several of those were youth team players, for their goalless draw with Cambridge United on Tuesday night.

But former Southampton and West Ham United academy coach Limbrick is confident that a small squad could work in Woking's favour.

“We are going to operate with a fairly small squad for this league but I think the advantage of that is that everyone is going to be a key player,” he said.

“You are going to need everyone throughout the season because it's a long, long season and I'm sure we will be learning that quite quickly.

“Those players [not in the starting XI] have to try to perform and get into the team for August 5 and hopefully there are some decisions I will have to make and I'm looking forward to that because everyone is training hard and working hard.

“We are in it as a team and we work hard for each other and as long as we do that then everyone is important in the squad, definitely.”
